For my Final Major Project, I have been looking at ‘street life’ and how people conform to what is normal and how we react and feel towards something that we are familiar to, however is, in essence, quite surreal. For this project I wanted to focus on the ‘little things’ – the mundane etc. to accentuate the importance of what is normal to us. I used quotes from interviews that I took in this project to highlight the effect that holiday life and conformism has on people themselves. I wanted to look at the way that we as people cater for tourism, This is why I visited Blackpool and photographed Blackpool as it was the perfect area where I could explore and look into this.
